"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Seven | 1995 | R | - 4.9.8
Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are two detectives tracking down a killer who uses the seven deadly sins as the themes for his murders.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A couple of kisses, sexual innuendoes and a brief glimpse of a male corpse's genitals.
VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A corpse is shown with blood splattered on a wall. A corpse is shown with his hands and feet tied and his face in food; when his face is exposed we see opaque eyes. A corpse is shown post-autopsy, with autopsy stitches and blood; the pathologist holds up a bloody bag and we see photos of this a few times. There is a lot of spilled blood at a crime scene. We see a corpse in photos, with a gaping wound in his side and a sack of bloody flesh on a scale. A woman is killed with a strange device: a phallic knife (we don't see the murder though). A supposed corpse coughs (the man is skeletal with bloody track marks over his body). A man is shot in the head. A man is almost shot. There is much talk of graphic violence.
LANGUAGE 8 - 25+ F-words, many scatological terms, many milder obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Serial killers, religion, marriage and career.
MESSAGE - It's a strange, mixed-up world out there and sometimes the good guys don't win in the end.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
